I know of at least one nuclear medicine office in one of the WTC towers that

collapsed.

Subject: Sources in WTC





I heard on this evening's news that the authorities are now concerned

about the possiblity of medical and dental sources in the wreckage of

the WTC.  Has anyone heard anything more?  Are there any HPs working the

site?  This is a valid concern, certainly much more so than DU

counterweights.



Also, I had a discussion with an engineer on Friday who told me that

when the towers were built there was a debate about whether to sheath

the structural steel in asbestos.  They decided against it.  One wonders

if that might have prevented or significantly delayed the collapse of

the towers.
